The Iranians have failed to topple or reform the regime of the Islamic Republic imposed by the Mullahs upon them during the last quarter of century. The Iranians inside the country are unable to take any action due to acute suppression. The Iranians out of Iran are not ready to do take any action due to their difficulties and reluctance to sacrifice. However, if the international community, especially the Western countries think that the Islamic Regime of Iran is only a matter of concern for the Iranians, they are wrong. The Islamic regime is going to create serious problems in future for the region and the world.
The people of Iran are not able to rise against the regime of the Islamic Republic. How much pressure and mistreatment, humiliation, violation of rights, discrimination and suppression is enough for the people to revolt?
The wrong economic policies, unemployment, violation of human rights, consideration the women as second hand human beings or part of the lifeless materials, imposing the judicial regulations of the ancient Arab tribes for the people living in the 21st century, mistreatment of the political prisoners, killing them as ordinary criminals, renaming the solitary confinement as private suite, violation of the children's rights, changing the water courses according to the wishes of the influential persons, pushing the people to addiction to narcotic drugs because there is no prohibition in Islam for such drugs ( in fact most of the Mullahs are serious drug addicts. Not a single prominent Mullah has issued a Fatwa to prohibit the narcotic drugs, while they have published volumes of books about the women's period and the toilet training), the universities are dead due to lack of proper professor, accepting the students on the basis of services to the regime and graduating them without having proper credentials, bad relations with almost all countries due to misunderstanding the international relations, wasting the time and energy of people for training the illiterate Mullahs and their relatives as politicians and so on. Losing the international opportunities in all cases especially in the Caspian Sea and the newly independent states in the north of Iran.
Poverty, dividing the people to the insiders and outsiders on the basis of services to the regime, suppression of the journalists, limiting the Internet, crippling the freedom of expression, using the oil resources against the national interests, intervention in the places like Palestine that the people of Iran do care what happens there (and the Arabs consider these acts as the Iranian intervention. They see Iran as Israel, an occupier of the Arab lands due to the dispute over three islands in the Persian Gulf and they do not tolerate even the historical and geographical name of the Persian Gulf), useless hostility with the USA. Eight years of meaningless war, millions of dead, maimed and chemically injured people. Forcing millions of people to leave Iran and taking out their skills to the other countries. Giving the judiciary to the foreigners, including illiterate Mullahs that do not even know the teachings of Islam (no respected Islamic clergy has been working in the Iranian judiciary since the revolution.
All judges of the revolutionary courts are young and illiterate, politically ambitious and religiously poor mullahs), turning the system to the dictatorship of the so-called Supreme Leader, violating even the Constitutional Law of the regime, and making the people less religious (if you consider the Islamization as the main polity of the regime, this has failed too). I can continue the list endlessly. Aren't these enough for a nation to rise against a political regime?
The problem is that the regime of Iran has the experience of the previous regime (if you start to accept the people's rights, you are walking in a round of no return), and at the same time the current regime has been working for the last quarter of century on one issue only: "survival". The regime has been preparing, practicing, and equipping several kinds of forces for the suppression of the people.
These forces are ready to enter the scene of any social movement according to the level of the seriousness or acuteness of the cases. These forces have effectively suppressed the people of Iran inside the country. The people inside Iran are not dead but they are apolitical. They are not going to take any step further than nagging for the toppling of the Islamic dictatorship. They are looking to outside.
The people of Iran have always thought the US has brought the Mullahs to power in Iran (through the Green Belt Policy, Carter's Doctrine, diffusing the army of Iran to avoid a coup and negotiations with Khomeini in Paris and so), and the US should push the mullahs back to their carpets. Iranians are really fed up of the Islamic government. The extent of the oppressive policies of Mullahs in Iran is not comparable to any place.
The people of Iran are now ready to accept just anything. The discussions of the opposition groups about being considerate not to replace this dictatorship with another one are useless. The time for such planning has passed. Unfortunately, the people are ready for anything. They do not know exactly what they want. But they know exactly what they do not want.
The only thing that they do not want is a religious government of any kind. If the people spend a time to sacrifice themselves for a new regime or invite the foreign forces to do this for them, they want something very much different than the tenets of the Islamic regime. The people of Iran need a government to give them a period of de-Islamization and de-Arabization. If this does not happen through a peaceful process, it will lead to a period of revenge and retaliation. If left unattended it may even lead to disintegration of Iran. The Forces of disintegration are already at work, and if the central regime remains in the hand of Mullahs, many parts of Iran are ready to accept the disintegration as a response to the imposed Islamic regime. The people of Iran are looking to the outside forces to save them, if necessity through military action. The people of Iran deserve such an intervention as it happened against the Germans Nazis, Japanese dictators, and Fascists.
